This afternoon, he addressed reporters and face-to-face in front of television cameras. Cooper admitted he was drinking but added it was no excuse for the course of action he took.

"I'm disgusted and I'm sorry," said the 6-foot-3, 222-pounder prior to the team's training camp practice today. "That's not the type of person I am. I wasn't raised that way. I got a great mom and dad at home. They're extremely, extremely disappointed in me."

Cooper, who tallied 51 catches for 961 yards and nine touchdowns as a senor at Florida in 2009, said he planned to apologize to his teammates, obviously, many of whom are black.

Cooper said he was fined by Eagles brass. Now, he's awaiting word from the NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Both the team and the league released statements condemning Cooper's actions.
